Thomas Corriveau

Born in Sainte-Foy in 1957, Thomas Corriveau is a visual artist who works mainly in the fields of drawing, painting, and animation film. His works are part of various private and public collections and he has exhibited on a regular basis in Quebec (Canada) and abroad since the early 80s.... He has produced fifteen public works integrated with architecture in the Province of Québec. He is a professor at UQAM’s École des arts visuels et médiatiques and co-founder of Grupmuv, a research-creation laboratory focusing on drawing and the moving image in contemporary art practices. Thomas Corriveau’s pictorial research is primarily concerned with the creation of images through the multiplication of similar elements, whether in drawn, painted, or looped animations. He is interested in their presentation in physical space and participates in multidisciplinary performances that fuse the moving drawing with dance or theatre. Exploring the many ways of representing the human figure, he deconstructs the image, multiplies points of view, and upsets our perceptual habits to present vision as an activity linked to temporality and movement.
